CHICAGO, H., Nov. 30--The board OF trade
markets opened steady and early displayed
tendency toward higher prices The bull
ish spirit was not particularly aggressive,
except in provisions, which Aared up in the
beginning, but developed considerable weak
ness later and broke sharply. Grain bought
at lower prices is being held for further adj
vance by the great mass OF traders very
heavy trade developed in corn, the work on
the buying side being particularly brisk, and
May going TO nc before the expiration Of
the first hour. The same option in wheat
only went TO s3Hc. The early price brought
out plenty of pork, and, as the season adj
yanced, there was not as great a rush for it;
prices, too, became easier, January dropping
of TO sli 72l9. The closing prices Of the
leading futures were as follows May wheat,
SIC; May corn, 5lh@5i25c; May oats,
